MaintainX Hello World

Overview

Create your first work order using the MaintainX REST API -- the core building block of CMMS operations.

Prerequisites

• Completed maintainx-install-auth setup
• Valid MAINTAINX_API_KEY environment variable
• Node.js 18+ or curl

Instructions

Step 1: Create a Work Order (curl)

curl -X POST https://api.getmaintainx.com/v1/workorders \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MAINTAINX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Hello World - Test Work Order",
    "description": "First API-created work order. Safe to delete.",
    "priority": "LOW",
    "status": "OPEN"
  }' | jq .

Expected response:

{
  "id": 12345,
  "title": "Hello World - Test Work Order",
  "status": "OPEN",
  "priority": "LOW",
  "createdAt": "2026-03-19T12:00:00Z"
}

Step 2: Create a Work Order (TypeScript)

// hello-maintainx.ts
import { MaintainXClient } from './maintainx/client';

async function helloMaintainX() {
  const client = new MaintainXClient();

  
   { : workOrder } =  client.({
    : ,
    : ,
    : ,
  });
  .(, workOrder.);

  
   { : fetched } =  client.(workOrder.);
  .(, fetched.);
  .(, fetched.);

  
   { : list } =  client.({
    : ,
    : ,
  });
  .();
}
